Sonali Kulkarni said, “My roles are my choice. I have to stand by my choice proudly, which I do. I am touched with the audience’s and critics’ observation. But I also played Hrithik adoptive mom in Mission Kashmir back in 2000. People will definitely comment, and they are right. But it’s not like every time it comes out of criticism, it sometimes, comes out of concern also.”

The actor also shared that while the comments are made on the concern and not meant for criticism, she’d never talk negatively about her work and be grateful to every opportunity that will come her way.

“At times, people say regional cinema has offered me more variety than Hindi commercial cinema, which I agree with. But I wouldn’t like to say, ‘How I wish Hindi cinema gave me this or that’. I am very grateful for the work that I am getting,” Sonali told the entertainment publication during the interview.
